European Railroad Discussion > Poland questionDate: 11/23/16 16:15 Poland question Author: tevillo27 I am thinking of going to Poland for a couple days next summer. I would go there from Hamburg or Berlin. Can anyone give advice about railfanning opportunities in Poznan? A lot of intermodal traffic passes through there, and I would like to see some of those trains if public access is easy. Thanks in advance.

I caught a train around 10am from Berlin-Lichtenberg to Rzepin, which is a junction on the line to Poznan. The Poznan/Warsaw express train was sold out, so the DB local was my only option. I hung around the station in Rzepin for about 3 hours and then took a PKP local to Kostrzyn, and then a DB local back to Berlin from there. Traffic was much lighter than I expected - saw 2 through express trains, 1 local passenger, and one freight in my 3 hours in Rzepin. I posted photos from this trip on this TO board back in June - check 'em out. Be aware - Poland is not part of the Euro zone, so you will need zlotys.
